my Clarity Cumbria day

Hello there! How are you? I hope you are well. If not sending hugs to you! You would have chuckled if you had been at the swimming pool with my and my girls Monday night - it was their swimming lessons and they were having a fun 'lesson' - lots of jumping in and games and races ..... Penny managed to lose one of her teeth - honestly - you wouldn't believe it - but it happened!!! So of course the tooth fairy had to be booked for a visit!

Today I would like to share with you my makes from Clarity Cumbria on Saturday. Jo Rice was our host and as always we had a lovely time.


This is my first full make - we did some utee on the main image so it looks like a tile.


Next we made a hook plaque.


We used stencils, stamps and grunge paste, paints and ink.


I love the Einstein quote - fabulous!!!

Finally we used acetate to add smooshed distress in a controlled way.


love this - definitely my favourite make!!!!

Hope you have a great Wednesday! Enjoy!

Hugs

  2. That must have been a fun day if your projects are anything to go by. The are all wonderful, but yes I think number 3 is my fav. too. So I am sitting here guessing how to do it. Sprits on the acetate and then turn it over......?

  8. Fantastic makes Rachel, I love the tile effect on the first card and the bright splashes of colour on the last and the fairy card has a most dreamy feel to it. Looks like you had great fun.

  9. I love the delft tile effect on the first card but having said that they are all lovley. Your tooth tale reminds me that Fluff ran into the bak of a freezer in Icelands and knocked here two front teeth out. As she was only 3 at the time it was a long while before she got her seconds!!. Hugs to you and the girls.Mrs A.
